Spyder Help I can’t find part to convertible top

[Cinderzz]

I just bought a 1999 eclipse spyder gst with a convertible top. And as I was fixing it, I found that the bow #2 wasn’t attached. So I bought the repair kit thing because the frame linkage arms, for some reason, didn’t come with the car. The thing is when I was about to put them on, I notice I only had one of the plastic thingies at the end of the bow and i really need them. I found one in the car but the other is nowhere to be found. I have called junkyards and they don’t have a convertible spyder everywhere i look for. By any chance does anyone have a spare one or know where to get one? Please help and thank you.

If you find a place to buy spares, let me know! I’m looking for the same thing. I know the linking arms for that bow are commonly bent or
broken off.

Are you talking about the plastic pieces that clip onto the bows, or the “triangular” bushings where the screw through the middle of them?

The third generation Spyders are almost identical in how the top is made, you might want to look at them for parts, I have the lift motors from the third generation in my 2g for example.

I was asking about the plastic clips.

Sorry, I haven’t found a source for the clips that hold the liner onto the bow.
